Nexus News/Weather widget problem...

I love this widget, best news widgets I've used. I love how it scrolls through all the top news stories, the problem is the scrolling doesn't continue if the phone goes to sleep. I dont know if its normal or not. Anyone here using this widget and having the same issue? After I re-add the widget to the homescreen or if I restart Launcher Pro it scrolls beautifully, then the phone goes to sleep and just stays on one news story after I wake it up.

I didn't know that the widget allowed you to scroll.

The auto scrolling of the news topic, not physical scrolling. Sorry for the confusion.

Bump, anyone?

Probably your WiFi disconnects, when your phone goes to sleep..then no more news can be loaded.

Anyway to fix that?

do u mean that the scrolling stops after u wake the phone up or that it isnt scrolling when its asleep?
to check wifi settings->wireless and networks -> wifi settings -> press the settings key on the phone -> advanced -> wifi sleep policy

The scrolling stops after I wake up the phone
Ive tried on wifi and on 3g and still the same.

Exact same problem here (but on EVO), totally unable to resolve it. Please post if anyone finds a solution.

Same problem on my galaxy s. The news stop rolling after the screen is turned off... I use the transparent one. Pls if anyone can find a solution pls post it cause i love this widget...

hi,
any idea if it s possible to get the apk of this widget for install it on another device?

Yes it is, i'm not allowed to post link although the .apk has been posted in the XDA forums. Just google geniewidget.apk and you'll find it.
I use it on my galaxy s, with the aforementioned problems.

hi,
i just found it and installed it
works like a charm, except, because the default language (and only available) of my device is english, i can t get french news like i use to have on nexus.
any idea if i can force it somewhere?
thxx for your help

Maybe if you give a french key word on the custom topic tab, it will search for french news.give it a try.

Too bad about the scrolling. Let the dev know.
For weather I use Snowstorm. Shows the weather wherever I am for the next 24 hours in 6 hour icons. Perfect, although must be installed internally or the widget is lost by Android.

well, when i use a french word as keyword, it search it in english news website....

Do you know who the developer is and his contact details maybe. I did a brief search but no success...

this one did not work better on my SGS and it's not the tranparent version as well.

I don't have this problem. Try to clear the app data under settings/applications/manage

I've already tried this but no result. But today i found what's the cause of the problem.I have flyscreen installed and i use it as an locksreen replacement. So whenever the screen unlocks without passing through sgs's default locksreen it stucks! Strange thing but true! When i deactivate the option to replace lockscreen everything works like a charm.

[ FIX ] How to get all apps to display in fullscreen mode

1- Download Spare Parts from the market.
2- Start Spare Parts and find " Compatibility Mode ". It should be checked, so UN-CHECK it and then RE-CHECK it. Then reboot.
3- Start Spare Parts up again, find the " Compatibility Mode " again and this time just UN-CHECK it, thats all. Now reboot...
That should be it, now all apps should display in full screen mode. I found this on the net, so post up if all works well for you. And if there are any issues you may have. Hit the thanks button if it helped you.

Seems to do the trick. Thanks.

There's actually no need to uncheck, recheck then reboot.. Just uncheck it and reboot, it will suffice.

It works perfectly. Thank so much

Wow! Nice find...thanks!

larger font
I used (bought) spare pro + , and when I set a larger font and do the reboot it reset to default :-( anyone knows what to do

Fullscreen all app but cant touch it... you can install Unblock Me FREE from Market to test... cant choose any menu item...
thanks!

Glad its working across the board

Unfortunately after several tries over spare parts and spare parts pro I can say that it doesn't work with me... Can I ask what rom do you use? Thanks.

I'm rooted on tasks v5, with pershoots kernel.

Ummm. Since we have android 3.2 now this isn't necessary. Why did you bump your own (now useless) thread?

How to disable lockscreen password? Version 4.0.3

I made the the mistake of activating the lockscreen password feature of my Galaxy Note and now I can't seem to deactivate the feature. When trying to turn off screen lock password under the security menu - you will see in the screenshot that it "deactivate" option is greyed out.
Anyone know why its like this? How to go around this problem? By the way, I am using ICS Version 4.0.3.

Nope its not a custom ROM. I'm using the official update from Samsung.

setting - security - screen lock - select None
Edit : sorry just now seen screenshot, its not available for you.
are using any password storage appl n deleted it?
I think wiping can solve this, but not advisable on ICS.

have you tried changing the option ? Like selecting Pin Number, Then see if 'None' becomes selectable ?
Sure is strange

Hi,
If you go to the samsungdive.com website and register your device, you will be able to reset any activation priorly set with the remote 'unlock screen' feature.

Thanks a lot. Using an exchange account locked the screen of a Note 2. This was the solution.

Same happened to me, not sure whether you've had solved yours.
Anyway, go to Setting<Security<Clear credentials

i know this is an old post, but i faced somewhat of a similar problem. couldnt select any option but pin and password, everything else was greyed out.
go to settings---->security---->clear credentials (at the very bottom)
its caused by some certificate which doesnt let u remove lockscreen. hope it helps.

Note 5 Touch Delay HELP !

Didn't seem delayed to me it looks like you're just causing it to do that by swiping to much on the home screen options and then when it closes out you get that delayed response from what you were just doing.. If it's such a major deal then save whatever you need to and factory reset the phone.

Try to use the latest firmware update or use a launcher from the play store.

Use nova launcher.

Bad experience with the new One UI update

After the update, those 2 useless bars appeared I've tried to find every setting to turn them off but I can't find any (I already looked in the Edge Screen and all those advanced function settings) nothing helps
Please help me Thank you!
P/s: its function is Back, but I don't need 2 extra Back! My nav works fine!
(Solved) it turns out that the One Hand Operation+ app causes this, I uninstalled it and they are gone

Its been removed i guess, if you haven't cleaned your phone after a major update, now would be a good time for that.

I dont have the issue, i haven't factor reset too. Few people have it and it was solved by reset. It is highly advisable to factory reset. Those lines are actually a navigation gesture. If you swipe download from the line, it acts as back button and swipe straight horizontally to go to home. Swipe upwards for recent apps.
Make backup using smart switch and use google to sync game progress.
